Prof. Nagarjuna G (gnwledge Lab HBCSE TIRF) and Rekha currently at DBF work with the student volunteers at VJTI on the OLPC deployments/ Sugar Learning Platform as well as GIS mapping projects in Khalapur.....and they should be able to get across the message to the group so we have larger numbers than the usual wiki MeetUps.


Will mark this to Rekha as she is in touch with the VJTI faculty  and should be able to get a confirmation not just of venue but also of student participation. Will call her too and get back as she is on vacation for a couple of days.

hi,

It would be great to have VJTI as a venue.

We're looking for the venue for morning of January 15 to avoid a clash
with the Marathon the next day. Any time upto early morning will do.
We're looking for a venue with no fixed seating for about 50-100
people so that there is movement and guests can speak to one another.

Thank you,
Pradeep
